Probably,after concurrent split.
 

This is reproducable down to v12. I bisected it to this commit:

commit e2e992c93145cfc0e3563fb84efd25b390a84bb9 (refs/bisect/bad)

     Refactor checks for deleted GiST pages.

     The explicit check in gistScanPage() isn't currently really 
necessary, as
     a deleted page is always empty, so the loop would fall through without
     doing anything, anyway. But it's a marginal optimization, and it 
gives a
     nice place to attach a comment to explain how it works.

     Backpatch to v12, where GiST page deletion was introduced.

I'll dig deeper tomorrow.
